Preparing your Tuscan journey
Bolgheri enjoys a classic Mediterranean climate. With over 2,273 hours of sunshine yearly, it's the secret ingredient behind the region's world-class Cabernet and Merlot.
~300/year
The most consistent sun in Tuscany
126/year
Concentrated in autumn/winter
24°C
Cooled by refreshing sea breezes
The proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea provides constant ventilation, preventing humidity and ensuring grapes stay healthy during ripening.
Bolgheri's unique light in September and October—reflected off the sea—allows for late harvests of high-quality Cabernet and Petit Verdot.
Freezing temperatures are rare, allowing for a steady vegetative cycle and early bud-break in many vineyards.
